The Experience of Studying in the Australia
Australia enjoys strong business and trade links with nearby Asia, particularly China. This has helped ensure Australia’s economic state whereas both the UK and the US have struggled in the last few years. A strong economy always means good things for international graduates finding employment in the more competitive fields, while these links with Asia are a huge advantage for Australia in the future. Something else to consider is that international students can work part-time while studying which can give your budget a boost. As well as offering world-class education which places their universities at the top of global university rankings each year, Australia also sits atop the rankings for quality of life (and not just for students). Melbourne and Sydney are routinely ranked as the most desirable places to live. With modern cities drenched in sun nearly all year round, studying in Australia offers a way of life like no other. Rather than dream to live there when you retire, make the change now while you’re still young!
